Would folks in RN-BSN programs care to share their costs?

Published

I am wondering if some people wouldn't mind listing the program they are attending and the approx cost per semester hour.

I am looking for other options and a school by school internet search is proving slow!!!

hi! i just graduated from the rn-bsn program through nova southeastern university. i did the entire program online. the total cost of my program (not including books) was around $22,000. realize that nova is a private university, so the cost is a little higher---however, because it is not a state university alot of the state university requirements do not apply, so you can get done faster. i know in the state of florida, the state universities require you to take a foreign language and would have required me to take more in the way of humanities, history, etc....nova didn't require any of that. also, if you happen to live in florida, you qualify for the frag, which is a grant that gives you $3000 per year towards your education at a private school.

good luck in your search and in whatever program you choose!

OT NURSE you could have gone to SPC for 80 a credit if you live in floirda. I think 22, 000 is way to much. I think you can get your bachelors at spc for like 6, ooo or so

Specializes in NICU.

I am in Mansfield University (Pa) program and I spend $750 per 3 credit class. They also are very flexible with taking pre reqs at the community college which saves a ton of $$. I am in my 4th semester, and I have had a good time in it

The Pros

Not that "hard" in that there are traditional 14 week semesters and the classes dont interefere with my life like the ADN program sis

Inexpensive (in comparison to others)

Teachers are awesome and flexible

Con

Takes longer than most...about 2.5 to 3 yrs

All in all I would chose it over again :)
